People who develop hearing problems during mid-life (aged 40–65) have an increased risk of developing dementia. It may also be one of the early symptoms of dementia.
Many people start to lose their hearing as they get older, though they may not notice it at first. To reduce the risk of dementia, it’s important to get your hearing tested. There is some evidence that using hearing aids may reduce risk of some aspects of cognitive decline. Remember that hearing loss is only a risk factor and does not mean that a person with hearing loss will develop dementia.
